hi, this is still happening (ubuntu 14.04.3). my system is crashing very often and the log says always the same:
17 Nov 11 10:53:03 Paula gnome-session[2022]: WARNING: Application 'compiz.desktop' killed by signal 6 18 Nov 11 10:53:03 Paula gnome-session[2022]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly 19 Nov 11 10:53:03 Paula gnome-session[2022]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry.... but it only happens when I'm running jdownloader on the bg and the exact moment is when this app tries to show me the captcha. maybe something related to java? $ java -version java version "1.7.0_85" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.1) (7u85-2.6.1-5ubuntu0.14.04.1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.85-b03, mixed mode) $ lsb_release -a | grep Desc No LSB modules are available.
